Upcoming Productions & Auditions
botgt presents The Agitators
We’re so excited to announce we’re taking our boots on the road next April to the historic Vail-Leavitt Music Hall in Riverhead. “The Agitators” by Mat Smart is a true story of the lifelong friendship between Susan B Anthony and Frederick Douglass. A friendship that quite literally made history!
botgt presents Chemical Imbalance: A J&H Play by Lauren Wilson
Get ready for some gothic horror and humor as boots on the ground theater presents Chemical Imbalance: A J&H Play by Lauren Wilson. Described as a “horror farce” this retelling of the Robert Louis Stevenson Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde story examines the balance between good and evil with devilish good humor and madcap comedy, with a nod to the original sinister story. It’s truly a side-splitting romp.
Mark your calendars! October 7-23 2022. Southampton Cultural Center.
